I had the idea a few weeks ago and asked a friend of mine to draw it up. Don't get pissed at me if your a metallica fan or whatnot, its just a joke, not looking to boil testosterone or anything...... Enjoy! -Barrett

Hey guys, I've been workin with tape since July so I'm still in a stage of infancy and I still don't understand the spec sheets for tape. I just don't know how to read them and what all the info is telling me. I don't understand the Biasing charts or the Out vs In charts. I just wish I could...

So I bought this mic awhile ago and absolutely love it, for right now it's my dessert island mic, but I was looking to buy another and have noticed all the new ones look much different. The grill has a different mesh pattern and its not the same color as the one I own. I have been looking pretty...

Hey guys, My friend brought in an old ludwig snare 6.5 x 14 and it's got a turquoise green and red psychedelic wrap. For some reason there was this crazy head on it that allowed you to lower the hoop below the edge of the shell and the drummer before him just beat the hell out it and the rim is...

Hey guys, just a quick question. If I have been using BASF 911 1" for the last few months can I switch over to BASF 900 1" without doing any maintenance to my machine? I just don't have the gear/money to be doing any calibration/ biasing/ alignment right now. I'm in a state of infnacy in the...

Check it out. my dreams have come true, a show dedicated to recording. I have yet to hear much of his work but Ronan Murphy seems like a really cool guy who has a good foot in the Biz and is bringing all of us in to take a look. http://ronansrecordingshow.com/

Hey guys, I'm having some problems with a few of my tapes. When I playback the tapes I get a strange random flanging effect and I can see the reel speeding up and slowing down. I don't think it is the tape machine itself because It only happens on certain tapes at certain places. I see the word...

I just bought one of the newer ones and I was just looking for some back story. I've heard the older ones are more prized, I believe the older ones were 6.5" but I could be off. Mines 5" and I just put some puresound wires on it and it sounds excellent. Just a bit curious if anyone had insight...

I've got a Tascam MSR 24 and lately I've noticed particularly when recording bassier instruments the level will appear to be higher after I record it... So say I record a Bass Drum and while I'm recording I appear to be hitting a healthy 0dB mark. When I play back the meters will read upwards...

When ever I get a cool sound I love to share it and hope that someone will do the same. It's nothing extravagant or exotic it was just a snare tone I particularly liked. So I put a condenser mic (a LDC in my case GT 67) parallel to the snare with the capsule about 3 inches from the rim. It...

Does anyone know a place in Chicago where I can rent High end mics? I'm looking for Royer and Neumann stuff. All I can find is press conference and Live sound rentals that listed the Beta 52 as a vocal mic.... Appreciate any help, -Barrett

Post your worst recording! Fortunately for me I have a vast pool of terrible recordings to choose from. No pressure it's just for fun. Give a story if you'd like. Let's hear em! -Barrett

I was having a lot of buzz and hum issues with some of my rack gear. Tried different cables, tried separating the audio from the power cables, tried different outlets...nothing was curing the problem. I was in a conviniece store today and I wandered into the electrical isle and found these 2 to...

I was trying to "mod" my 57, I saw that if you removed the perferated plastic disk from over the capsule it will reduce the extended mid range effect of the mic. So I tried it, poped off the screen with a screw driver and in the process I disconnected one of the copper wires from the capule and...

Just started today and things are movin' real fast. The goal is to isolate my live room from my soon to be control room. I don't have any carpentry experience so this is going to be rather interesting, the thought of an 18 year old with a butt load of power tools is enough to paralyze my mom...

Hey guys I was just in the midst of cleanin my deck and ran into a jam. My rubber pinch roller has a decent amount of tape residue on it and the usual soap and water remedy has failed me. Do any of you guys have a "chemical X!" to help with the residue? I'm worried my demag isn't functioning...

My friend tried recording a Demo a few months ago and never really finished the project. He bought some gear for his computer that he no longer needs because the band he was in broke up. Only used one, for sale we have... MOTU 8 Pre Firewire Interface ($350) -Includes power cable, firewire...

By John M. Woram Don't ask questions, don't respond to this thread, just go buy this book.

Does anyone have one they can sell or share? Operational and or service... Thanks, -Barrett

I'm going to pick up my first multitrack tape deck tomorrow and now I have to look into the future. What is the best way to get your analog recordings to CD? Perserving the character of the tape and all. I've heard a lot of good and a lot of bad about The Masterlink 9600. Other than that I'm not...
